Home again

Hi all,
We're back! well, most of us...we're all a little tired, but tonight we're going to the symphony to see Anoushka Shankar!!! in like 3 and a half hours. I'm soooo excited!!!!

How was everybody's Easter? Mine was great - my dad and I hid easter eggs Saturday night, and then everybody else had to find them, which was really funny! The last two to be found were one that he hid on the backside of a wall clock, and one that I hid inside a hollow porcelain statue on top of a bookshelf. We had a great time laughing at everyone else trying to find our eggs. We kinda bummed around for awhile...Dad had the Masters on (biggest golf tournament of the year) which was really neat - a Christian guy won who'd never won any tournament before, and he was interviewed a few times and always gave Jesus thanks and praise for his victory. I thought that was so neat; his name is Zach Johnson.
Let's see, then we went to the condo park place and walked by the river and threw a softball and went swinging on the swingset. Came back and made an early dinner with salmon and artichokes and bruschetta and cream puffs for dessert! (My cream puffs didn't turn out, but we made some more and they did) Dad and I went golfing Saturday and I shot a 135, my middle score between a 125 and 137, but not too bad considering how little I've been practicing lately. Last night we went down in the evening and hit 4 more holes just having fun. went hot tubbing all three nights - and last night was the most fun...

So Dad and I went to the hot tub with Mom and my grandma, and then they both went in because it was raining. (By the way, hot tubbing is a lot more fun in the rain than it is regularily, because you don't get so overheated in such a short amount of time.) So then it was just Dad and me for a few more minutes, but then we both got fairly hot too, so we decided to go in. About half way back to the condo, Dad stops and turns off to the side. I'm like, "what are you doing?" and he's like "I thought I'd go for a walk," so I said I'd go with him (it was about 10:00), because the cool night air actually felt really good since we were both so hot.

So here we are, walking down the street in our swimsuits and towels at ten o'clock at night in the rain, and this guy comes walking by. he's just like, how are you doing? like it was no big deal, but I don't even want to guess what he was thinking. Hold on though, it gets better.

there's a par-3 golf course (which basically just means smaller than usual golf courses) that's opening next weekend at this resort, and Dad suggested that we walk on the course. It really sounded like a good idea, so we take off on the first hole (at 10 PM in the rain in our swimsuits, and I forgot to add that we were both bare-footed too!) and walk throught the first sand trap and start laughing at super-weird things and joking around, just having an all-around good time and trying to make sure nobody saw us and kicked us off (oops :P). Then we walked through the bark on the other side of the road and waded in the fountain. dad somehow thought it necessary to dip his head into the freezing cold water, which just proves that he's insane. after that it was necessary to get warmed up again by a second dip in the hot tub, before returning to the condo. I think the thing that made us laugh the most was imagining the look on the groundskeeper's face when he saw two sets of bare footprints going through the sand in his first bunker!

good times...

we laugh, we cry/we fall, we fly/and sometimes we wonder why/we're even here

last night I knew why we're here...



So, that was my weekend, how was everyone else's? What did you peoples do for Easter? Tell me, I'm not just asking because (in other words, this isn't a rhetorical question and I do expect an answer from each of you!)
